Two decades after the Sex Pistols and the Ramones birthed punk
music into the world, their artistic heirs burst onto the scene and
changed the genre forever. While the punk originators remained
underground favorites and were slow burns commercially, their heirs
shattered commercial expectations for the genre. In 1994, Green Day
and The Offspring each released their third albums, and the results
were astounding. Green Day's Dookie went on to sell more than 15
million copies and The Offspring's Smash remains the all-time
bestselling album released on an independent label. The times had
changed, and so had the music.While many books, articles, and
documentaries focus on the rise of punk in the '70s, few spend any
substantial time on its resurgence in the '90s. Smash! will be the
first to do so, detailing the circumstances surrounding the shift
in '90s music culture away from grunge and legitimizing what many
first-generation punks regard as post-punk, new wave, and generally
anything but true punk music. With astounding access to all the key
players of the time, including members of Green Day, The Offspring,
NOFX, Rancid, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, and many others,
renowned music writer Ian Winwood will at last give this
significant, substantive, and compelling story its due. Punk rock
bands were never truly successful or indeed truly famous, and that
was that--until it wasn't. Smash! is the story of how the underdogs
finally won and forever altered the landscape of mainstream music.
